Installing x-pack on offline machines does not work on logstash

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

when i try to install x-pack-5.0.2 on logstash 5.0.2 the manager tries to go to rubygems.org

[root@node logstash]# ./bin/logstash-plugin install file:///tmp/x-pack-5.0.2.zip
Validating file:///tmp/x-pack-5.0.2.zip
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org - SocketError: initialize: name or service not known (https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

can you confirm what version of Logstash and x-pack you have? Do you mean x-pack 5.0.2 or 5.2.0?

3

it's 5.0.2
[root@node logstash]# rpm -qa|grep logstash
logstash-5.0.2-1.noarch

Logstash x-pack was introduced in 5.2.0, so it will not work when installing on LS 5.0.2.

Please upgrade to Logstash 5.2.0 if you want to install the x-pack.

I just found that out on a node with Internet Access. So i upgraded the whole Stack and it worked.
